1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the characteristics of cystic retinal tufts (CRTs) with 55° widefield spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

methodsThis was a retrospective study. All subjects underwent a complete ocular examination, ultra-widefield (UWF) pseudocolor fundus photography and Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) with a 55° widefield lens. The SD-OCT characteristics were analyzed in subjects with CRT.

resultsTwenty-six eyes of 25 subjects were scanned and 29 CRTs were analyzed for SD-OCT characteristics. On SD-OCT images, the CRTs exhibited hyperreflective irregular elevated lesions with internal hyporeflective cystoid cavities. Normal layers of the neuroepithelium could not be distinguished. The mean diameter of CRTs was 1022 microns (range, 117-3711 microns; standard deviation, 815 microns). There was vitreoretinal traction at the apex of CRTs. Among them, retinal tears in 24.14% (7/29), suspected retinal tears in 27.59% (8/29), and shallow neuroepithelium detachment in 31.03% (9/29).

conclusionsThe widefield SD-OCT imaging can provide detailed cross-sectional anatomic information of CRT and may guide clinical treatment.
